Family Halloween Streaming Free on Tubi

Much different from most streaming services Tubi Tv is a free streaming site that is loaded with odd ball movies and Tv shows that are mixed in with big blockbusters. Beware though most "movies" will have adds. As for kid shows they seem to cut back on them or at times not show any. So I was perusing the site the other day and was surprised but they amount of fun Halloween themed content that was available. In true Man Cave style I have compiled a short list of titles that will get you in the Halloween spirit. Grab the remote, pop up some kettle corn lets get this season started!!

Halloween Jack O'Lantern (2019)

This spooky jack o'lantern is sure to light up your Halloween party, and prepare you for the ever-festive and frightening holiday. What you get is a one hour loop of Jack flickering in the night. Granted the soundtrack playing in the background is not the best so I suggest hitting the mute button and turn up the Monster Mash mix instead. This was fun to let play while we where doing homework the other day and again as we decorated the house. 

The Dog Who Saved Halloween (2011) 

Zeus & the Bannisters have moved into a new house, just in time for Halloween! Everything seems to be going well until they notice strange lights and sounds coming from neighbor Eli's (Lance Henriksen) house. George (Gary Valentine) takes it upon himself to find out what is going on, and enlists the help of an unlikely pair (lead by Dean Cain). After the trio and George's wife Belinda (Elisa Donovan) get trapped in the spooky house, only Zeus is left to save Halloween!

Can a movie go wrong with Lance Henriksen along with Dean Cain? With a Hallmark movie feel in fact if you look at director Pete Sullivan's list of movies he has directed you will see quite a few Hallmark Christmas Movies on that list. With being said if your a fan of made for TV feels this one is for you and the family. 

Witches In Stitches (1997)

Hop aboard a broomstick for this tale of two dim-witted witches who accidentally turn their sister into a jack-o-lantern on Halloween...and that's just the beginning of the story. Join the silly sisters as they turn a typical suburban town topsy-turvy with their inept attempts to rescue their sister-turned-pumpkin on Halloween night. Watch them fly around town, go trick-or-treating for the first time, and pop in on a children's Halloween party.

Monsters Vs. Aliens (2009)

Probably the big hit on this list DreamWorks along with Reese Weatherspoon take us on a fun ride when a woman is transformed into a giant! After being struck by a meteorite on her wedding day of all things she becomes part of a team of monsters sent in by the U.S. government to defeat an alien mastermind trying to take over Earth. This motley crew of Monster misfits is called into action there job is to combat the aliens and save the world from imminent destruction!

Thanks to the successes of Monsters vs Aliens we where treated to a new Halloween Special
Monsters vs Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space that airs every year on network tv so make sure to be on the look out for it this year as well. 

 

Witch's Night Out (1979)

It's time to revisit this 1979 Halloween Classic with the voice talents of Gilda Radner, Catherine O'Hara, and Fiona Reid. A witch, disgruntled by the fact that no one takes Halloween seriously anymore, decides to stir things up and disrupt the social gathering in her old house as well as turn a couple of kids who love monsters into actual monsters.

Most younger kids might be turned off by the animation style used to tell the story and may appeal to a tween audience looking for some more than the Great Pumpkin. You Can read my full review here. 

So there you have it five kid friendly shows to kick off the Halloween season and they are free to watch. During the trying times of COVID entertain the kids this year can be a challenge. Coupled with other bloggers during the Countdown to Halloween I'm sure you will find many great ideas. Lets make 2020 a Halloween to remember!
